House backs efforts to protect LGBTQI+ students in schools.

The House would officially back a national effort to ensure fair chances and basic rights for LGBTQI+ young people in K-12 schools. This resolution would also ask states and local areas to pass laws that stop harm and exclusion based on bias. This aims to make schools safer and more welcoming for all students.

What Would Change

Currently, the House of Representatives has not formally supported the Rise Up for LGBTQI+ Youth in Schools Initiative. Also, states and localities are not officially encouraged by the House to adopt specific protective laws. If this resolution passes, the House would formally back this initiative. It would also encourage states, territories, and local areas to create laws and policies that prevent bias-based harm, exclusion, and being ignored for all students, especially LGBTQI+ young people.
